@tkralphs I agree that single-threaded Cbc performs (far) worse than the multi-threaded version. This PR produces a multithreaded Cbc, but only for the windows-msvs workflow, which is used in CI builds and part of released binaries. Are derived products like the conda package using the windows-msvs workflow or similar? I suspect not. |

Hi all,
I have modified the windows-msvs workflow to build binary releases with CBC_THREAD enabled. The lack of multi-threading on Windows seems like a major setback for users of CBC on that platform.
The build process uses vcpkg to pull and compile the pthread lib. It seemed to me most straightforward to include the .dll in the distribution, but if you think static linking is the way to go, I can switch to that. Some additional notices are also included to comply with Pthreads4w's Apache-2.0 license.
An artifact is available at https://github.com/mdealencar/Cbc/actions/runs/18375636033 for inspection.
If this PR gets merged, I can adapt it to the master branch as well. Ultimately, I would really like to see this rolling out to the conda package as well.
